Pre Calculus 1 Learning Outcomes
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completion of Pre Calculus One, students will be able to perform the following.
1. Students will be able to solve problems by applying elementary algebra: properties of the real number system and complex number system, using rules for exponents and radicals, simplifying algebraic expressions, solving equations and inequalities.
2. Students will be able to graph polynomial equations of first and second degree and to explain features of the graphs such as: intercepts, vertex, slope, line of symmetry and translations.
3. Students will be able to define a function and determine if an equation represents a function. They will be able to perform operations on functions such as: addition, multiplication, division, composition and finding inverse functions. Students will be able to define and find the domain and range of a function.
4. Students will be able to identify and solve problems involving exponential and logarithmic functions and equations.
5. Students will be able to justify their answers and to solve problems involving the intermediate value theorem, the division algorithm of polynomials, the remainder theorem, the factor theorem, and zeros of a polynomial.
6. Students will be able to solve problems involving systems of two equations in two unknowns, using the method of substitutions or the theorem of equivalent systems.
